(HOLLYWOOD, CA) Cosplay superstar Tanya Tate (http://www.myherotoys.com) is set for a DesignerCon signing. November 19th and 20th, Tanya will be appearing at the annual event that celebrates the urban vinyl culture. Held annually in Pasadena, DesignerCon features over 350 vendors, creator panels, presentations and more. At the show Tanya will be promoting her line of customizable vinyl figures: My Hero Toys. Tanya conceived these toys with the intention of creating a female-specific platform for vinyl artists. She even released a limited edition version of her cosplay character, Lady Titan.

“DesignerCon is an amazing event that celebrates artist and companies who might not have the opportunity to shine at events like San Diego Comic Con, which are dominated by multimillion dollar companies,” said Tanya. “As a creator and company owner, I am thrilled to be attending the show. It’s going to be an amazing show, attendees are going to have an unforgettable experience.”

Tanya will be signing at the 3DRetro booth, #532, from 1pm - 2pm on both Saturday and Sunday. DesignerCon is held at the Pasadena Convention Center located at 300 East Green Street in Pasadena. Ticket and other information on DesignerCon can be found here: http://www.designercon.com.

November 21st and 22nd, My Hero Toys will have its line of customizable vinyl figures available at booth #1035.

My Hero Toys is a customizable line of stylized female shaped vinyl figures created in 2014 by Tanya Tate and Alexander Raymond.

More recently, a limited edition My Hero Toys pre-painted figure based on Tanya’s Lady Titan superhero character debuted.

At Designer Con My Hero Toys will reveal new pre-painted sample figures from the upcoming FeMonstars line. Based on a concept by Alexander, FeMonstars is a group of superhero monsters that come together to save the world from an incredible evil. The prototypes for the line will be on display at the show.

“We’re very excited about Designer Con,” said Alexander. “We’ll have some unique custom pieces artists have previously created as well as prototypes from the FeMonsters series. This is the perfect event for our product. We look forward to creating a greater awareness of My Hero Toys among the designer vinyl community.”

Out of the four current colors of My Hero Toys vinyl figures available, this is a popular one. Meet Smash! The name is obviously a homage to one of the most beloved superheroes and my personal favorite. Let's take a look at some pictures of the figure:

Your My Hero Toys vinyl figure just arrived and the legs are a bit bent. Argh! She won’t stand properly! Unfortunately, due to the softness of the vinyl this situation has occasionally occurred. On the bright side, fixing this issue is pretty easy.
